You Remain Unchanged

Driving across Dakota, I saw an old freight train

That train has crossed this state through the wind the snow and rain

Now the wheels were rusted golden and it wasn't on a track

Somebody somewhere swore that train would be coming back

But You remain

Unchanged, unchanged

You remain

Unchanged, unchanged

Went back to my old house and I parked across the street

I could almost see us there, my mother and me

And I could feel her gentle guidance, I could feel her hold me tight

Seems like too many years since she kissed me goodnight

But You remain

Unchanged, unchanged

You remain

Unchanged, unchanged

You remain

You remain

Unchanged, unchanged

You remain

Unchanged, unchanged

You remain

Unchanged, unchanged

Walking with my father down the avenue

For every step he took, I must've taken two

Now his steps have grown much slower but time keeps rushing on

We know this life's so fragile but we're both counting on

That, You remain

Unchanged, unchanged

You remain

Unchanged, unchanged

You remain

Unchanged, unchanged

Amen
